that depends on what apps are running in the background.. (for example facebook widget). How long ur phone battery last?

LG will be the new MeeGo OS! If you not know Meego is Maemo and Moblin Join Forces.

LG GW990 is the first mobile to be using MeeGo OS! N900 have a new competitor in TOWN!

Some pictures of my N900.. already 3 weeks old laugh.gif

Anyway I love this phone but there are still many things that can be improved from time to time for example the mms, video calls and etc.. U just have to be patient to learn more about this phone and u will never regret it after that (well that's my opinion la)..

The phone is chunky? I think its thickness is just about the same as my previous N82.. just the screen is much bigger and wider cool2.gif

Tips on how to save battery:
- Use Edge rather than 3G(for example if u just wanna use the internet for IM or Emails)..
- Lower the brightness of ur phone screen..
- Don't use the 'updating' type widget for example Facebook.. (depends on u)

I'm still exploring this phone rclxm9.gif

Yo Bro, mind to share where you get that "pouch" and roughly how much?

From the picture, seems it's a nice fit.

I bought it at Lowyat Plaza last time..try looking at the computer shops rather than handphones accessories shop.. I can't remember which floor is it.. The shop is big almost like Sri Computer..

----------

At last Nokia N900 is coming to Malaysia!! rclxm9.gif That means there will be a lot of N900 accessories available in the market brows.gif

--------------

Another thing.. Do u guyz think that N900 will support the new MeeGo? If yes that will be an excellent news smile.gif

Previous plan was that they already plan to released Maemo6 device; but since they merge with Intel, current Maemo6 will be rebrand to MeeGo; the first instance of MeeGo is actually Maemo6.

Actually, this device is officially launch in Dec 2009, and up till Feb 2010, that's 3 months, and they have release 3 updates (1 being major), and another one the way. I think it's that's pretty fast, but to be honest, it's also because they release it too early being the OS still have many things to be improve, such as the Maps are not complete, phone function is still very basic, etc. Possibly they want to make quick appearance on the market to compete, thus they release it early while the features are still in basic stage. Since the device in more of an internet tablet, they mainly focus on the internet capabilities first since it's the main objective of the device, while enhancing others on the way.

Nonetheless, it's disappointing to hear the news and uncertain future for the N900; but at least they're not hiding it and suddenly just launch the MeeGo device; We can see that they're concern about the N900 future too. For those who haven't buy the device still can make their choice, for those already own it, I don't really see it as a problem for now as it's still a great device and many great apps available and coming. I don't even know what will the MeeGo OS look like, how will the phone look like, etc. Who knows? Maybe some will still prefer the N900 or Maemo5?

Anyway, as per previous mentioned, most important is to know what you want and device for yourself. Nobody is stopping anyone for not buying or buying any phones. But, it's a dilemma to decide to buy now or wait; that depends on whether one can wait or need a new phone now.

I truly agree with what u have written, andy. N900 still need a lot of improvement.. So its user need to be patient.. If you are not willingly to take the risk (of Nokia abandoning N900) and not patient enough waiting for the new updates.. My only advice is.. don't buy the phone yet.

What do you guys think it's best to see in the next firmware for N900?

I read that it is still using Ovi map 1. Furthermore, no assurance from Nokia that N900 will be able to run Meego or application can be ported to N900, is a deal breaker for me.

I am still considering....

instead of waiting for nokia to update their ovi maps.. i'm waiting for Sygic Turn by turn GPS map tongue.gif

u sure or not can do those
*
so far i can't use the front camera yet.. maybe have to wait for the next firmware update...

Some disadvantage of N900 right now (what I have found la):

- No built in mms function (install fMMS)
- cannot video call (even skype video call.. normal skype call can)
- u can't group ur contacts.. so if wanna send to several contacts, have to pick one by one.
- No built in function for USSD (*122#) - just install the USSD widget
- does not have a good camera (maybe becoz i used N82 b4 this)

Advantage:
- the best mobile internet browser
- can open many IM in one time..
- multitask function
- clear and bright screen <--- from my personal view tongue.gif
- cool 4 panoramic desktop.. (creativity man) icon_idea.gif
- cool sms interface (same like IM)

so.. think before u buy.. (i'm still waiting for the new meego to come out soon.. hopefully all of the simple2 function will be fixed then)

wah,lucky i didnt buy this N900,if i buy sure die also.do you need to root to install random applications/softwares ?

actually to install new applications is quite easy.. just download it from nokia ovi store or from the application manager..

well.. it depends on the person.. for me, N900 is the best rclxm9.gif
